Συμφωνώ απόλυτα με τον άλλο σχολιαστή πιο πάνω. Η πρώτη εμφάνιση της Μάτζικα Ντε Σπελλ όχι μόνο εισήγαγε έναν εκπληκτικό και βαθύτατο χαρακτήρα αλλά άλλαξε για πάντα τον κόσμο των παπιών, κάνοντάς τον πολύ πλουσιότερο, όπως έγινε και 14 χρόνια νωρίτερα με την πρώτη εμφάνιση του Θείου Σκρουτζ. Φέτος που κλείνουν 50 χρόνια από την πρώτη εμφάνιση της Ιταλίδας θεάς, αξίζει να εκδοθεί κάτι το πολύ σπέσιαλ για έναν τόσο σπέσιαλ χαρακτήρα.

Ι definitely agree with the other commenter above . Magica De Spell's first appearance introduced not only an amazing and extremely deep character, but also changed the world of the ducks forever, enriching it greatly, like Uncle Scrooge's first appearance 14 years earlier also did. This year is the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of the Italian goddess, and it's worth it to have something really special published for such a special character.

With fifty years of magic having gone by, the plot may not be as original as it once was, but it sure demonstrates how well-constructed and cool Magica De Spell's personality is.

Dialoghi eleganti e fluidi, caratterizzazioni archetipe e frizzanti. Trama lineare che delinea un inseguimento da manuale, creativo e coinvolgente perchè si distacca dalla banalità della ripetizione continua dello stesso schema, e spinge invece il lettore a chiedersi cosa accadrà.
E' vertiginoso assistere alla costruzione delle fondamenta per il mito dell'affascinante Amelia e della Numero Uno, che con gli anni saranno spesso anche disattese o ritoccate, dai poteri di Amelia (qui ancora non sa scagliare fulmini e ricorre solo ai trucchi della sua borsetta) alla vera natura della Numero Uno (porta fortuna o no? E ha acquisito questa dote grazie a Paperone?).
Il signor De' Paperoni si rivela sensibile al fascino femminile della maliarda!
Da notare il paesotto napoletano di Sulfuria, ma anche la presenza di aglio nella borsetta di Amelia senza che lei ne risenta.
Sul Vesuivio pascolano le pecore. Magari Barks pensava alla Sardegna?
